Introducing yoga at this age has fantastic benefits for children.
As well as the physical benefits of increasing their strength and
flexibility, it also helps them to relax and slow their overactive
minds down. It begins to give them an understanding and control
over their emotions, as well as their bodies.
Practising yoga in a non-competitive environment gives them self-
confidence, and practising short meditations and visualisations
improves their focus and concentration as well as encouraging their imagination.

Singing, dancing, using props, playing percussion instruments, having FUN. Learn new skills - sharing, listening, socialising, interacting, waiting their turn! Theme changes each half term to keep them interested (parents as well as children!). Facilities to have a coffee & a chat with fellow parents.
